INFO

Within a global macro, INFO gives the same output as it does in interactive Minitab; it displays a summary of the global worksheet. Within a local macro, INFO gives information about the variables in the local worksheet in the order in which they are stored. For debugging purposes, use INFO to check that your local worksheet contains the variables that you think it should.

The INFO output in the example below shows that the local worksheet has three declared constants: Min, Max, and Range. They do not have labels (column, matrix, or constant numbers from the global worksheet, such as C2 or K5), suffix values, or a numeric value assigned to them at this point. The local worksheet also has a column which is an argument, its local worksheet name is X.* where * ranges from 1 to 5, its label is C1, and it has 10 rows. Last, the local worksheet contains a matrix named design which is currently empty.
